ABOUT THE AVERY COONLEY SCHOOL
The Avery Coonley School is an independent, non-denominational school enrolling
bright and academically gifted boys and girls from age three through eighth grade.
Each year, students from approximately 40 surrounding communities attend the
school, giving strong testimony to the school’s widespread reputation for educational
excellence.
The school was founded in 1906 by Queene Ferry (Mrs. Avery) Coonley, whose desire
to offer an alternative to traditional public institutions was inspired by the educational
philosophy of John Dewey and other progressive thinkers of her day. This philosophy
is based on the concept that school should encourage a child to become an enthusiastic participant in the learning process. Mrs. Coonley began her first school in a cottage
on the Coonley Estate in Riverside, Illinois. The present school facility was built in
1929 and received listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
Reflecting the belief that education is a lifelong process, the school seeks to instill a
sense of joy and excitement about learning at an early age. Hallmarks of an Avery
Coonley School education include small class size, an accomplished and dedicated
faculty, and a wide spectrum of learning opportunities. The challenging curriculum is
designed to foster critical and creative thinking, self-reliance, and concern for others.

WELCOME
Dear Friends of The Avery Coonley School,
It is our honor and pleasure to welcome everyone to the 32nd Annual Auction of The
Avery Coonley School. This event is vitally important as funds raised play an important role in fulfilling the school’s mission of providing an exemplary independent
school education for each of our students. Further, our school community is strengthened through the volunteerism and friendship generated by this event.
A wonderfully creative and energetic group of volunteers has produced another
exciting Auction. Under the dedicated leadership of Auction Chairs, Zainab Baig and
Brendan Sheehy, the Auction Committee has worked tirelessly to provide our guests
with a delicious dinner, entertaining surroundings, and an exciting array of gifts and
services. We acknowledge the many Auction volunteers for their commitment of time,
talent, and personal resources. We also wish to thank the many contributors whose
donations comprise the live and silent auctions, the members of the Fleur de Lis
Society for their leadership gifts, and the corporate sponsors for their underwriting
support. Truly, it is only through the cooperative efforts of so many kind and generous
friends that we are able to have such a fine and profitable event.
Thank you for supporting our mission and celebrating together the conclusion of
another successful school year through your presence here this evening.
Have a wonderful evening!

WITH THANKS
Welcome to The Red Balloon!
We are pleased that you are with us tonight as we gather together as a community to
show our support for The Avery Coonley School. This year’s Auction theme was
inspired by the 1956 French film The Red Balloon which follows a young boy who
befriends a red balloon and takes a journey with it through the streets of Paris. Like
this young boy, our students have begun their life’s journey. We are so fortunate for
the educational experiences and adventures the School provides. We extend very
special thanks to the dedicated faculty of our school. Each school day, they prepare
our students for the world ahead by instilling in them a love of learning that will last
them a lifetime.
We have truly enjoyed working on the Auction with such an exceptionally talented
and dedicated committee of volunteers. The philanthropic example set by our
founder, Mrs. Coonley, is evident in the wonderful spirit and commitment of our
volunteers. Without the philanthropic support of our donors, this event would not
be possible. We share our most heartfelt appreciation for the generosity of our
parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and the business community for
each and every donation. We are thankful for the opportunity to work together.
Now, we encourage everyone to bid high and bid often, all to benefit our wonderful
students, as their dreams take flight.
Merci,
Zainab Baig and Brendan Sheehy

FUND-A-NEED
RENOVATION OF THE MOCHEL COMMONS
Each year we ask our Auction guests to “raise their paddles” to make a charitable contribution to a worthy philanthropic project. These projects, which have included the
restoration of the Rock Pond, the renovation of the Old Library, SMART boards for the
classrooms, and the playground equipment, benefit the entire student body. Since its
inception, Fund-A-Need has raised $475,000 that has directly enhanced our children’s
experiences.
This year’s project is the renovation of an area that is at the heart of the school, The
Mochel Commons. The Commons was constructed as part of the 1993 school addition
and its furniture and décor are original to this time. This central space connects, both
physically and socially, the Early School, Lower School and Middle School, providing a
well-utilized place vital for academics, recreation, and sustenance. Here, students enjoy
their lunchtime with one another, share exhibits, and come together before and after
school with their friends. Families gather here as well for receptions to celebrate special
events and to work on volunteer projects.

This year’s Auction theme was inspired
by the 1956 French film The Red Balloon
by filmmaker Albert Lamorisse and
follows the adventures of a young boy
who befriends a red balloon and takes a
journey with it through the streets of
Paris.
Much like our children, this young boy
discovers his dreams through exploration,
loyalty, and enduring friendship.
